Cool episode but things are progressing just like one would suspect... a bit too slow for me but it's fine. I also agree with the last two posts.

For a moment there I thought there would be a huge explosion in the American ship. Looking forward the ending battle.

Yeah, but imagine if the missiles had been armed. Like Kalinin said, the ship might've been sunk by now. A couple of helicopters don't nearly cause as much damage as a anti-ship missile.

The idea of America as "world policeman" doesn't make much sense in a world where the Soviet Union apparently still exists.

But I guess it's a rare anime series that doesn't take a chance to complain about America.

So true, the second season is a lot better and more drama. But the fact that it's only 13 episodes (i think) means no fillers or boring parts in-between fights.

I am so disappointed with this whole season that I won't even watch the others...

Pretty badass moves by Teletha and Kaname. Kaname's reunion with Sousuke was adorably sweet.

So, it's a time where most countries have mechs, but that US cruiser doesn't even manage to hit two missiles with their CIWS? Lol.

The plot gets more ridiculous by each episode...

The compentency of the Toy Box crew is embarassingly bad for what is supposed to be independent military personnel on a top of the line secret sub.
Testa should be a tactician specialist and not the Captain as she has been beyond useless in this situation - can't even hit targets at point blank range.

For only 3 enemies to deal with, there were so many opporunities for someone to take Gauron down from behind (although I bet even if they got a near guaranteed chance, Testa would shout something like 'DON'T!' and completely give them away).

And Chidori is suffering from extreme decision lag too. Pan in hand, enemy facing away shooting multiple time at the guy she likes and she wait until he finally gets grazed to hit the guy...and even then doesn't hit him on the head =_=

Hoping the characters are finally allowed their brains back for the big final 2 episodes.

I'm guessing in this timeline the USSR didn't collapse, but remained weak after the events of 1988-1991. At that point it's just a huge country with little influence.

Anyway, the USA have been the world police since the Truman Doctrine of 1947.

Tessa for once acted clutch, even if there was a heavy price to pay. The parts with the other military guys seemed dragged on a little too much, thanks Kalinin for making very good points about what happened. The kitchen fight... i remembered it better honestly. But it still counts as a Kaname moment of not being a damsel in distress in a situation that would make most people extremely afraid.
